Robert "Tuffy" Cates

Rest in peace my old friend

My condolences to the Cates family. I first met Tuffy when he was my ymca baseball coach as a teenager. I really connected with him as a young adult as we would workout together. I hadn´t seen him for years as I moved away, but I saw him across the room at assisted living. His eyes lit up as I am certain that he recognized me and remembered who I was

Wanda, you and your family are in my prayers. I so enjoyed your friendship at House of Hope.
